Captain Midnight #4 Review

The skies are filled with fun!

This title is really starting to hit its groove. Without a doubt, this is the best issue of Captain Midnight so far, and it shows tons of promise for the future. It's funny, exciting and, at times, absolutely absurd, but in a good way. Part Captain America, part Rocketeer and part Nazi Puncher (not the name of an actual hero, but it should be), this is a comic for people who lovea bit of classic flair to their superheroes. With each new issue, Captain Midnight seems to get better and better.

Joshua Williamson is clearly having fun with this. Captain Midnight #4 is packed with great humor and fun characters. Moments like when the good Captain forces his cohorts to collect newspapers for him to read because he doesn't trust the internet are what makes this book tick. Plus, there's plenty of secret Nazi organizations and rooftop battles between costumed vigilantes to keep your action appetite sedated. It's not exactly heavy reading, but that's what makes it so great.

Eduardo Francisco does some stellar work here, as well. The bulk of this issue doesn't feature any costumed, super heroics, and it looks fantastic. His character work is expressive and dynamic. He never skimps on a panel, always finely detailing the world and shifting the view to keep things fresh and interesting. Captain Midnight #4 is great looking, from start to finish. As a pleasant bonus, this issue also happens to be a perfect jumping on point, so get on board, it's worth it.
